TW: Discussions of ED, Disordered eating, Food, Body Image, and Mental Health. If you are not in a place to hear about these topics, please find another episode of mine to dive into. I wasn’t in a place to edit this for a while, so I understand if you need to skip this one. I will just be THAT much more excited to see you in the next episode.
